When I finally was able to get a proper Dx from a good neurologist, that was the pigeonhole that I got stuck in.
'AN'
alcoholic neuropathy - go no further, problem solved!

All that did was give the MD's something to point to.. the ever elusive CAUSE for neuropathy. You know it isn't the cause , we all know it isn't the cause - but it's like the Holy grail to them...

these are the stupid doctors...
